Onapsis Achieves Record Growth for Fifth Consecutive Year, Further Delivering on Growing Demand for Business-Critical Application Security
Global experts further expand into the ERP cybersecurity and compliance market by securing SAP and now Oracle applications and data including HR, Finance, PII, Supply Chain and more.
Boston, MA – January 18, 2018 – Onapsis, the global experts in SAP and Oracle application cybersecurity and compliance, today announced key highlights from another highly rewarding year. The momentum from this year confirms the company’s leadership in the newly established market of business-critical application security. In addition to an outstanding increase in year-over-year recurring revenue for the fifth consecutive year, Onapsis added dozens of new Fortune 2000 customers across the United States and Europe, representing industries including Oil & Gas, Energy, Entertainment and Pharmaceuticals. Driving this growth was the confirmation of Onapsis as the de-facto standard for securing SAP platforms, as well as Onapsis’s product expansion into Oracle E-Business Suite, further demonstrating the company goal to secure ERP applications from cyberattacks.
“I’m very proud of the achievements and growth of the company in 2017 as it marks another hallmark year of rewarding milestones achieved by Onapsis. Our sustained hypergrowth and immediate acceptance of new product enhancements further validates the very real and evolving urgency organizations face to gain visibility into and proactively protect applications that run their most critical business processes. As threats in the market continue to progress and organizations are faced with strategic digital or cloud transformation projects, we are continuing to provide the market with the advanced research, technology and processes necessary to protect against threats and safeguard compliance programs as well as the business ‘crown jewels’,” said Mariano Nunez, CEO and Co-founder of Onapsis.
2017 demonstrated a turning point in the maturity of business-critical application cybersecurity. Organizations are no longer looking at this problem as a ‘nice to fix’, but a ‘must fix’ as they move into 2018. Business-Critical Application Security was cited by Gartner in its “Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2017.”1 In the report, contributing VP Distinguished Analyst Neil MacDonald writes, “As business-critical applications are opened up to partners and exposed on the public internet, and as attackers target these applications, their risk profile is changing. By definition, business-critical application security applies to applications critical to the functioning of the business. Downtime of the core ERP system of an enterprise can be catastrophic. Outages and theft caused by hackers should be viewed as critical as downtime caused by hardware or software failures.”
Over 87% of the Global 2000 rely on business-critical applications, such as SAP and Oracle, to manage their data including ERP, HCM, CRM, PLM, BI and SCM. Despite housing an organization’s ‘crown jewels’, i.e. intellectual property, financial, credit card and database warehouse information, and customer and supplier data, SAP and Oracle systems and their application layer are not protected by traditional security solutions. In addition, these systems are very complex, often having been implemented with customizations that map to specific business processes as outlined by an organization, making them more difficult to secure.
“As the ERP cybersecurity market continues to mature, we are proud to have expanded our mission to transform the way that organizations approach not only their cybersecurity posture for SAP, but for Oracle ERP applications as well, whether running on premise or in a cloud environment,” continued Nunez. “We are set up for success in 2018, already executing against very ambitious goals to capture the huge opportunity we have in front of us.”
